Our eyes can see all the good there is in the world. We use
them for a multitude of reasons from the first time we open them. The Health Briefs TV show reviews good eye health for everyone.
The first moment we open our eyes to the last moment of our
lives when they are shut are filled with sights both good and bad. Our eyes are
subjected to a variety of circumstances which can stress them, harm them or
make them feel healthier and better. We learn to eat food that is beneficial to
lasting good health for the eyes. We also take steps to prevent eye disease or
the progression of worsening eye strength or damage.
Here are several things we can do to maintain good eye health:
Make meals with green leafy vegetables and foods that are rich
in vitamin C. Fatty fish is also recommended as it provides vital minerals and nutrients
that keep eyes strong and free from cataracts. Genetics only play a 35 percent risk,
while diet and the environment account for 65 percent.
Get an eye exam every year and upgrade prescriptions if needed.
Be sure to include prescription sunglasses. Choose lens options that block UV rays.
Wear safety glasses when working with tools and materials
which can harm the eyes.
If using a computer all day, take breaks every hour and look
away from it. Close eyes and give them a stress break.
Good eye health is essential for everyone from newborns
onward. The Health Briefs TV show encourages readers to take great care of your
eyes every day so you do not miss seeing what you want to see.
